Histoire de Paris

Rue du faubourg Montmartre
Cette rue, entièrement sur le 9ème, est le prolongement de la rue Montmartre, chemin qui menait de Lutèce à la butte Montmartre, par l’actuelle rue des Martyrs... C’est le chemin qu’empruntèrent saint Denis et ses deux diacres, saint Eleuthère et saint Rustique, pour gagner la butte Montmartre où ils furent décapités. Ils venaient de l’île de Lutèce (la Cité) où ils étaient incarcérés. C’est de ce sommet que saint Denis partit, vers le Nord, portait sa tête. La rue était encore coupée vers l’actuel 35 par le Grand Egout du Nord qui ne fut couvert qu’au 18ème siècle; on le franchissait sur le "Ponceau des Porcherons". Dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIème siècle, on ouvrit un cimetière dit de Saint Eustache ou des Porcherons, au niveau des actuels n° 60 à 68, ainsi qu’une chapelle funéraire Saint Jean Porte Latine. Le tout fut fermé en 1793, vendu en 1794 et 1797 quand Montmartre s’appela Mont-Marat. L’église fut rouverte en 1805, achetée par la Ville de Paris et ouverte au culte paroissial sous le vocable de Notre-Dame-de-Lorette jusqu’à l’ouverture de l’église actuelle en 1836.

History of Paris

Rue du faubourg Montmartre
This street, entirely on the 9th, is the extension of rue Montmartre, a path which led from Lutetia to the Butte Montmartre, via the current rue des Martyrs... This is the path taken by Saint Denis and his two deacons , Saint Eleuthère and Saint Rustique, to reach the Montmartre hill where they were beheaded. They came from the island of Lutèce (the City) where they were incarcerated. It is from this summit that Saint Denis left, towards the North, carrying his head. The street was still cut towards the current 35 by the Grand Egout du Nord which was only covered in the 18th century; we crossed it on the “Ponceau des Porcherons”. In the second half of the 18th century, a cemetery called Saint Eustache or Porcherons was opened, at current numbers 60 to 68, as well as a Saint Jean Porte Latine funeral chapel. The whole thing was closed in 1793, sold in 1794 and 1797 when Montmartre was called Mont-Marat. The church was reopened in 1805, purchased by the City of Paris and opened to parish worship under the name of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette until the opening of the current church in 1836.
